🔥 Last night, our firefighters put in the work—training on hose advancement, sharpening communication, and strengthening the teamwork that is vital on the fireground. Every call we respond to depends on trust, coordination, and having each other’s backs—because nothing gets done alone out there.

Last night our members drilled on air hazards like metering carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, and lower explosive levels. We reviewed EMS procedures and fire protocols to prepare, respond, and remediate the situation.

🧠 Remember to check your carbon monoxide and smoke alarms regularly for batteries and out of date detectors.
